What do you think about on the stand?
What do you think about on the stand in between the action?
Sometimes I start to fantisize about a deer coming from over there and doing this and that allong the trail then stoping at just the right spot when all of a sudden a REAL deer does come from that direction. Of course it is never the big buck that I dream of but it really makes a guy wounder.
Most of the time my mind wanders so fast I don' t even know what I was thinking about 5 minutes ago. But I have solved all the worlds problems many times over

RE: What do you think about on the stand?
I replay many old successful hunts even those that didn' t pan out the way I wanted.
Also think about life, family, etc. Sometimes just let the mind wander to where it wants to go.

RE: What do you think about on the stand?
When I got on stand I take in my surroundings. I listen to the trees sway in the breeze or listen to the geese fly overhead. On every hunt I close my eyes and say a silent prayer or two and give my maker thanks for letting me enjoy my time in the woods. After I take everything in I get focused on my hunt.

" I wonder how far I could pee from way up here."
" What great weather we' re having...snow, 12 degrees, 25 mph wind (in my face of course), wait, I' m frozen to my stand!"
" I can' t feel my feet. Oh good, they' re still there."
" Getting stiff again, time to stretch. Better make darned sure there are no deer around before I stand up."
" Still gotta pee. Wait what was that noise?!!"
" Darned squirrels !! Make me think you' re a deer will ya? You wanna be a deer? Come over here and do that again. I can pretend you' re a deer too, rodent."
" I knew this tree was too skinny, now I' m gonna get seasick in this wind."
" Time to check the feet again."
" There goes another arrow falling off my rest. I hope I can do the job with what I have left. Hey cool, that one stuck point first. Darn, now I have to clean off the blades."
" Still gotta pee. OK, here we go."
" Wow, I MUST be cold."
" Ahhhhhhh"
" And, right on time, there is the only buck I' ll see all day. Go ahead, run away. See if I care."
" My timing really stinks. I couldn' t have gone an hour ago, NOOOO."
" Hmm, steaming snow. Who' d a thunk?"
" I can' t believe my buddy took a dump from way up here. Imagine the delay."
I have no trouble passing the time.
